Let me guess at it anyway...
You don't see the USB network adapter to assign an address to...
Bring up the Kindle end of USB networking - your OS can't discover what isn't there. |
Also, after activating USBnetwork on the kindle, you may have to disconnect and reconnect the USB cable so that windows can see a USB plug-in event. The connector at the kindle side of the USB cable is rated for MANY more insertions and removals than the standard USB plug at the PC side, so remove and reinsert the USB cable from the kindle (which is easier too).
Right-click "My Network Places", and select Properties. Right-click the network device that has "USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget" in the "Devices" column, and select Properties. Scroll down to "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" (at the bottom of the list), and double-click it. Click "Use the following IP address:", and type 192.168.15.201 in the IP address field. Click OK. Click OK.
Note that things can get messy if you have connected more than one kindle (K4 and/or K5) using the same IP address, so if you do not need advanced Diagnostic features like nfs, try a different IP address like 192.168.15.202, if you get an "already assigned to another adapter" error message.
